In this video, we are doing a stabilization comparison of the GoPro Hero 8 Black versus the GoPro Hero 7 Black. The Hero 8 Black introduced HyperSmooth 2.0 GoPro's latest EIS stabilization technology. I didn't think GoPro could improve HyperSmooth as it was pretty incredible to begin with, but somehow they did manage. This video contains side by side footage from both cameras in many situations where stabilization is important. We also show the difference when HyperSmooth 2.0 boost is enabled and when boost is turned off.

Nah! I’ll wait until the gopro11 comes out
u wait until gopro hero 10000
I'll wait for gopro 11 so I can buy gopro 3 lmao
@@josejacalne8196 Well...considering the Huge Cropping of Hero8, the Gopro11 will be like a Tele lens....no more a Wide Angle one 😂😂
Ya😇,me too....😁
iPhone 14
I don't think the hyper-smooth was activated on Hero 7.
Should have done Hero 7 hyper-smooth on & off as well like you did in hero 8 boost turned on and off.
I remember when H7 was released and their hypersmooth seemed just as perfectly as the H8 shows in this video, which makes me wonder whether the author of this video had been paid to edit/unset this feature on this video - to promote the sellings of H8 instead. Somebody else here said that Gopro might have released a firmware update that downgrades H7 Hypersmoort capabilities. Whatsoever, it just shows you that something here really stinks
Even the colors seem more alive on the H8 side... So I feel like the video was baked to promote H8 sellings...
The fact that he hasn't answered your comment speaks volumes. Yup, I think that you are right!
I've the same thinking about it, since their show that H7 shaky to much like a cheap action cam.
How much 8 black
It's only 60$ difference. I don't think there is a discussion here on what to buy...
While the stabilisation is fantastic in the 8 I think the 7 retains that factor of immersion.
Good efforts for this unique comparison. I am still satisfied with go pro 7 because I bought it a weak before launch of go pro 8 😁 Thanks again dear
Royal Soldier 🇮🇳 you are not satisfied actually. You are regret
Royal Soldier 🇮🇳 lol me too
You r so stupid
Fake video.
I know I'm kind of off topic but do anyone know a good website to stream new movies online?
got give it gopro, they've mastered STABILIZATION!
You need some movement to make things look real. Hero 7 black is staying in my camera case for me!
A good observation. Movement yes! Shake and jitter no
Agreed. As an RCer, I was disappointed in the X Maxx footage with the 8. It took away all of the vehicle motion.
I agree
You can still do that in post. Imagine this level of stabilization in your camera and you can use it for dolly shots and stuff. It's all about the use case..
Nice me to
I do appreciate the stability it provides but it almost takes away from the scene. Like I want to know the person is on a bumpy trail somewhat.
Hypersmooth was witchcraft on the 7 at release. Now it looks like trash. I feel like it's been handicapped in the firmware so the 8 looks better. I feel like I'm being extorted.
Yeah, DJI has a tendency to do that also. Sucks... but I still want to invest in the 8.
Whoa interesting point. That would be fucked... There was an update in August I did do it I didn't notice anything. What sucks is we probably won't be getting any of the new firmware updates that I'm sure can work perfectly fine on the 8. Dissapointed with gopro brand
Have to agree, although I've already parted with my money for the 8. It's our own fault!
They can't give ya free firmware goodies....
They gotta make money bruh....
Gopro families need to eat and have a roof on top
Hypersmooth just because the Hero8 Cropping is HUGE... It's no more a Wide Angle Camera. look at 1:57 ...
I was happy with my 7 black until watching this!
Hero 7 Is an excellent camera. Some of the tests I did were kind of extreme and you wouldn’t really notice that under normal use conditions.
So true
if you're happy with it don''t worry! then it's good enough. and you can always sell it and get 8 too
@@corremorre i sold my hero 3 a few years ago to some kid who bought it for $120. the actual value of hero 3 black after depreciation is $40. feels good man
Hero 8 absolutely win!
Really disappointed in 8. Stabilization looks exactly the same as the 7. Did side by sides test with hyper smooth on at 2 k 30 frames. Absolutely zero difference.
More crop mean better stabilization, we know that. I wanna see the media pod and other new accessories.
I think the Hypersmooth improvement for the Hero 8 is pretty decent, enough to upgrade if you're into such types of shooting where you need good stabilization. With this, I am seriously considering selling my Hero 7 Black and Gimbal (as I bought an 8 anyway)... (Of course I mainly use my GoPro for hiking in national parks and other areas of interest.) It is too bad that they got rid of the removable front lens cover but luckily they still do offer a case that will cover the front lens cover element to prevent it from getting scratched.
Right, that's it. I'm going to fit one to my lawnmower and take it to the local park.
Actually one of the most useful UA-cam videos I’ve ever seen. Thanks for posting!
UA-cam did a terrible job compressing the video during the hyperlapse. I bet it looks amazing on your computer though. Great video! The stabilization is impressive
I was on the fence if I should replace my 7. This settles it. 8 is on the buy list.
can I buy your 7?
@Teresa.Com. Au Well, 10 is coming out after that. So wait for 10 or buy 9?
Just wow! I never thought hypersmooth 2.0 improved so much and outweighs Hero 7. Take all my money now Hero 8!
I was torn between a seven and a eight, now I will wait two months till the 9 comes out and get an 8!!
👍
I will wait for 12 to buy the 11.
That RC footage is incredible! I like your table top videos. I can't stand looking at someone's face when they're reviewing videos. Well done.
I‘d love to see the same comparison with the Osmo Action. Is the Hero 8 worth buying or the Osmo action the better choice?
Netzdoktor he did a vid on that
What’s the point of the 2.0 stabilization. Its an action camera, don’t you want to see what it feels like going over bumps or the motion of stuff your doing? The hero 8 it’s too smooth, I get if your vlogging but if you bike, wakeboard anything really it will look like the cool stuff your doing isn’t actually as cool as it is.
I searched for quite a while reading specs about the differences in stabilization and was about to buy a used Gopro 7 - not anymore!!! Thanks for your helpful video.
But have they addressed their audio issues that have plagued them? What about stuff like picking a focal point? You know all the basic stuff my phone does.
Who give a crud about stabilisation when I can't hear what you're saying.
WOW!!! Thanks for the video, I think I'll be upgrading :) I loved the 7 so much this past year, can't wait for the 8!
Me saving for the five haha
When i shake my camera i want it to shake like the hero 7 and if i want a smoot shot then i want wobble my camera GoPro hero 7 always the 7 was great and had everything the 8 is toooo good
The xmaxx fpv sold me on the hero 8, I was just gonna stick with the 7 for RC fpv...but wow the 8 really shines in that aspect
Not gonna lie, the RC test had that old school Evil Dead vibe. Honestly, great comparison! May need to grab the Hero 8.
People saying that they made the hypersmooth worse on the 7 but be aware because these youtubers are testing the hypersmooth with extreme conditions so we can see the difference
At 1:27 i was yelling what the hell! That stabilization is insane! You were shaking the hell out of that rig. Wow 😲
The point is that the Gopro8 Crops as a hell!! It's no more a wide angle camera... This is not a real stabilizer...it's more Cropping. Look at 1:57 and compare the image with the Gopro7...
Good video sold me on the 8 can’t justify paying for the 9 at the moment
the best video test ever. direct to the point
Thank you very much
Ok, ok, I’ve changed my mind now, having already dismissed the hero 8 due to the built in lens glass, I am blown away by the stabilisation! Yes it crops in a fair bit but it needs to to obtain a clean frame path, but the shake test and R/C chassis test were incredible. I have attached various GoPro’s to R/C cars in the past and have been nothing but disappointed with the footage, this is superb and I’ve just ordered one!
IVE595 hows your GoPro? (I’m guessing you got it after 5 days)
@@CineZoneYT I'm still to test it properly, initial thoughts are it's build is not as good as old GoPro's, feels a bit plastic fantastic to me, I hate the built in lens, already ordered a protector but that only protects from scratches. However the stabilisation is the reason I got it and will be testing it tomorrow, got R/C car and my son on his bike/scooter to test. Weather shit here today so just watching the rain fall.
You should be a camera reiviewer your pretty detailed!
....I watch your videos faithfully - and half the time I’m usually confused. (Mom of boys here and love tech but clueless on most of it - LOL).
Your videos are the BEST! They are so concise and to the point without all of the dramatics like in other videos!
Keep up the good work! 👍🏽
same here, i come to this channel to make conclusions !
Forgot to mention in my previous post... Air Photography, nice work on the comparison video. Very well done.
Biggest deal breaker for me is the non-removable lens protector, I’ve replaced on my 7 a couple times
Add a 2nd removable lens protector
Does it exist without lowering the quality of the image too much?
The hero 8 cuts out alot of the image.
not anymore
the hypersmooth high is the same crop as the hypersmooth 1.0 in the hero 7
and the BOOST stabilization is for those who wants a cinematic shoot
I love it but at the same time me personally, I’m not sure why I would need a go pro to be stabilized at that level. I use mine for car Vlogging mostly. What I’m really waiting for is a sensor upgrade. That’s when I spend the money.
Awesome comparison. Thanks for putting this together.
The hero 8 is by far more superior, thanks a lot for clearing my mind about what GoPro to buy.
Definite improvement by the 8. The holy grail is the elimination of the small bumping while walking and holding a camera. Not there yet.
Holy crap! That's pretty amazing. I love my GP 7 but that just blew me away. Is it worth re-investing? For now, probably not. But if I was going from nothing-all the way up to GP6? Absolutely spend the couple extra bones for it. I'll keep my GP7 for now as it is serving me well. Great review, many thanks!
Samo opusteno,bez nervoze.
Thanks for the review, helped me a lot on deciding what to buy
Thanks a great comparison. We were tossing up between the 7 & 8. You have just answered our question.
Super useful! Thank you for your excellent comparison of these two cameras.
Glad it was helpful!
GREAT THANKS!!! for this helpful video test and informations.
I wonder what other improvements GoPro will make on the hero 9.
Thanks for the test! The 8 is obviously superior in stabilization, and dynamic range, but when there's a difference in how the blue of blue skies is rendered, I prefer the 7 as it's not artificially turquoise looking (I don't like to be bothered with the extra hassle of colour grading lol). The fact that the lens cover on the 8 is not replaceable is a big deal too, meaning if it picks up a scratch (likely being an action camera!) the camera is basically junk because GoPro do not offer repair for this. Conundrum. Maybe I'll just have to upgrade my 3+ black (lens scratched when it vibrated off the bridge over the Yellowstone river and hit the tarmac face first, so now into the light shots have flare from the scratch), and just keep using my gimbal with the 7.
well, on a normal the situation the 7 does the job perfectly without cutting almost 40%... 7 has a great superview with nice stabilization
40%? might as well say 80%.
Your tests are super nice for comparisons!!!
I’m still undecided on wether or not I should upgrade 😖
Angel Guzman don’t.
I would upgrade
I’m not going to. I have a 5 and a 7. They are decent enough
@@Curtis-Randall I have a 7 black I'm good with it.
Wissell I really only use mine for the hyperlapse so its good to me!
When i saw the ads about hero 7 black it was telling no shaking specially when u watch the promotional video of 7 , now i think the 8 will never shake while walking , but i think by real when u more your cam n take real video it will be shaking !
As some one said here, hero 7 look more real :) but the hypersmooth for 8 look great ,
I have noticed the 8 Black seems to over exposure, example is your RC car footage. The clouds very bright.
Last year gopro hero7's stabilization was like butter smooth and now compared to hero8 its like rough
awesome! my decision to upgrade is perfect! thanks for the comparison!
Very good. You can definitely see the difference. My big question is: where did you get that camera rig? And where can I get one?
Mike Roche Media I have the same question
The handle says “gopole” after 20 seconds on good I found it.
“Gopole triad grip dual handle kit”
Yes it is called the gopole triad. I’ve added a link to it in the description of the video. It’s a handy little rig great for adding lights and microphones or like I use it for mounting multiple cameras
Air Photography Thanks.
Great comparison with a lot of information thank you!
that stabilization is insane.
Gopro Hero 8 stabilization is witchcraft!
What a perfect comparison
I was thinking to save some money by getting the 7 black.. I was wonder how big of a difference it will make anyway.. This video made it ultra clear.. Can't even look at the 7 now :) Thanks for the awesome video btw!
I JUST bought Hero 7 a week before Hero 8 came out. Oh well, I’m locked in now. Maybe in a few years I’ll get the Hero 13 😂
The One JP on MissinglinkTV oof
I bought my 7black august 2nd 😭
What a bummer!
You have 30 day return.
That was great - thank you! I have a Hero 7 Black with Karma Grip - should I upgrade? I don't know if you have access to a Karma Grip, but it would be interesting to see how the Hero 8 Black does relative to the Hero 7 Black in a Karma Grip. The Hero 8 Black is amazingly good - I would not want to guess which is more stable.
The hero seven black is an excellent camera. If you’re happy with it I don’t know if it’s really worthwhile the upgrade. I do find the stabilization 8 When boost is turned on to be exceptional. I finally gets rid of a lot of that up-and-down motion that can be present on the gimbal. When I get a chance maybe I’ll do a side-by-side comparison
No way! is it so much improved that almost no shake is visible????
and does screen goes really dim on 8 after 3 min like it does on 7?
I haven’t really payed to close attention to that I’ll let you know next time I’m using it
@@AirPhotography Thank you
Which camera ur using Travelling with Andrew 👧
sarath mullappally GoPro 7 black
it's not a fully fair comparison as the hero 7s camera lens position is more to the left than hero 8s camera position is to the right. So when you're shaking the hero 7s lens is moving much more than the 8.
Looks like I'll be getting a couple of Hero 8 cameras for my Waverunner to use on our next trip to Bimini from Miami in June 2020.
By then the Hero11 will be outdated tho
Great video man!
in the cart mount is H7 on the right and H8 on the left, In the video is H7 on the left and H8 on the right.. just one note, ok
Great side by side
Woooooooww🤯 the switch 1:20
Best way to compare
Thx .
It was very helpful, i wasn't know which one should i buy because the difference of price. Now i know. Thanks to you.
Nice to see that comparison, but the hero 8 seems to be mounted closer to rotation center in the frame. Better for handling the movments I asume. So the hero 7 gets bigger movementsbased on that. One question I have, how does the hero 8 handle cold? I have a hero 6 and that didn’t like cold at all. I bought a Osmo action to try to see if it can handle that better. If it’s not better I’m thinking of testing the hero 8 instead.
Whoa! Nice comparison. The only downside with Hero 8, the lense cover is not replaceable
I have subscribed to your channel and enjoy it immensely. You always have great reviews and recommendations which helped making my purchase decision. Thanks
Thank you very much and welcome aboard
Just found your Ch and great content! Just ordered the 8 as a beginner. Can you make a beginners guide like you did for the 7 and recommend some editing software for Mac user? All settings have changed
Yes I do plan on making a beginners guide hopefully in the next few weeks. As for software for a Mac I am really not sure I’m not a Mac user myself. I edit all my videos on my iPad Pro both for UA-cam and personal
Oh and I forgot to mention... welcome aboard 🙂
@@AirPhotography iPad would work! What software do you use to edit and have you made a beginner's guide tutorial in the past for editing from a GoPro?
@@mrtony3729 i think he use lumafusion
Air Photography whats ur editing software on ipad pro?
Hero 8 looks more zoomed in. It looks like it's cropping out a large part of the video.
I have hero 7 and I don't have any complain.... thanks
Per some of my previous comments I was not going to upgrade, but just maybe now ... BTW Would you please provide a link to that dual testing case in the next video?
...but you don't have interchangable lens cover on hero 8, that will make it paperweight in case of falling down or in crash and suddenly why in all videos hero 7 footage starts appearing "shaky" while it was very smooth at time launch....may be those firmware updates did some trick on all hero 7 that exists...
I see about a 1 second delay between the 7 and 8 when the vehicle was passing in the background at time 2:58
lol you do know that it's because he didn't sync the video at the same exact time, right? nothing to do with anything
I went from the Hero 3 to Hero 7. Feels good man.
Wow the 8 is impressive in the shake test
Many thanks, RC Car test and Hyperlapse are really interesting
Looks both, post procces the video before you can wacth it on the screen? How can you stabilizate 30 degrees shakes in such a small camera.
GoPro had the technology since couple years already. Improvement every year is good for marketing
Useful video
Thanks
Just walk up stairs. My Sony az1 has strong digital stabilization just like this seem un natural.but stairs show the faults.
does boost works in 4K?
Yes it does
Thank you for reply
I got out of the GoPro race after #3 or #4...looks like it may be time to jump back in with the 8...would love to see some footage of one strapped to a Harley, don’t know if anything can compensate for HD vibration.
If you're that far back then the 8 is a definite upgrade for you. Time to take the plunge.
I would recommend this to anyone
Excellent comparison. Really shows how much the GoPro firmware has improved. Hopefully they also fixed some of the many issues the H7 has. Its really the very same hardware with new software plus added desing flaws (the side door). Sorry GoPro didn't give us the firmware update fr the H7 but that would be free and now one must pay $400 for the "upgrade". Any way this is not going to save GoPro. They just lost their way.
Ein ziemlich brutaler Bildstabilisator damit kann man auf jeden Fall kinofilme drehen
Wow that boost mode is sick!
Hero 8 absolutely win!
How do we know the 7 doesn't have stable off?
Good video. Thanks for making this.
Hero 8 has a clearer, brighter image. It also exposes a wider shot due to the camera adjustment.
i don't see a real difference when walking! it's pixel beeping but boost does look different but the crop is just awfull! i see no need switching h7 to h8 ontop the non replaceable lense on h8 is a nogo for me
